‘The Holy Trinity of Thebes’

Meretseger

(1539 BC to 1999? AD)

Ostracon dedicated to Meretseger, Deir el-Medina, Luxor, Egypt

“The Peak, she strikes with the strike of a fierce lion when she is

after the one who transgresses against her.

I called out to my mistress and found her coming to me as a

sweet wind, and she was merciful to me, after she let me see her

hand.

She turned to me in peace, and she made me forget the sickness

that was in my heart.

So, the Peak of the West is merciful when one calls to her.”
